Kangxi looked at the source of the voice. Not far away in front of the tent door. An elderly man by the campfire. He was sitting on a stake and playing the horse-head violin.

There were a lot of soldiers around him. Listen attentively. Kangxi's eyes were on the edge of the campfire. found a pretty face with a red sleeve reflected by the fire. And the flickering ones. Eyes as bright as stars.

Ge Jitai's gaze also followed the sound of the piano. His gaze fell on the old man. smiled: "His name is Chaolu." It's the old man of the northern camp in Xinjiang. I'm afraid I can't count how many times I've fought with the army. ”

Kangxi asked curiously: "Since you are a battle-hardened old man." Why is he still just an ordinary soldier? ”

Ge Jitai smiled: "Long live the master misunderstood. Although Chaolu has been on the battlefield for a long time. but he is not a soldier of war. He was only in charge of the food of the soldiers. When marching to battle. The pot stove is neat and easy to use. So I take him with me every time. But he only ordered him to be stationed in the rear. ”

Kangxi smiled: "This is also a talent. He should be paid more. ”

Ge Jitai nodded: "Indeed." The three taels of silver from others. Every time I gave a special explanation of his share, I added two taels to it. ”

Kangxi finished eating the mutton in his hand. got up and smiled: "His horse-head piano is very good." I also went to listen to the qin. ”

Everyone saw Kangxi get up. They also got up and walked over to the campfire in front of the tent. Li Dequan followed behind Kangxi. When I want to move a seat. Kangxi said in a low voice: "Take my golden monkey cloak." ”

Li Dequan answered. Kangxi walked to the campfire in front of the tent. He sat down beside his sleeve. A moment later. Li Dequan came over holding Kangxi's golden monkey cloak. Kangxi took it and put it on his shoulder.

Sleeves turned back. handed the hot milk tea in his hand to Kangxi: "It's cool on the grassland at night." Long live the Lord, too, beware of the cold. ”

Kangxi glanced at a few iron chisels on the grass at his feet. He also holds a hot roasted pigeon wing in his hand. frowned and said, "You have eaten so much barbecue tonight." When did the appetite get so good. In the past, I always saw you eating in the palace as if you were feeding cats. ”

The sleeve just ate is fragrant. I didn't have time to wipe my mouth at the moment. Look at the pigeon wings in your hand. The pouted lips were shiny in the firelight.

"There are a lot of them. That's all I ate. He looked at the few iron hammers he could count at his feet. The look is innocent.

Chaolu kowtowed to Kangxi. got up and sat down in his place again. I was going to continue playing the violin. I heard Kangxi say this. Smiled: "Little Gege." Belch...... Wrong. Now it's time to call the mother. ”

Chaolu slapped his mouth. Smiled and continued: "When Niangniang was a child. I especially like to eat meat roasted by grass people. Every time I come to the barracks to play. Just catch up with the meal. They were all left in the felt tents of the grass people to eat. Then. Look at the fragrance of the mother's food. The grass people and the soldiers were especially happy. ”

Kangxi heard this. smiled and nodded the tip of his nose: "It turns out that you were a famous little gluttonous cat when you were a child." ”

Huai Sleeve just tore a piece of pigeon meat and stuffed it into his mouth. Listen to what Kangxi said. Before he had time to swallow, he pleaded: "Concubines are not greedy." Just by the way, it's just a bit of a delicious meal. Eat meals from the General's Mansion all day long. There's always a time when you're tired of eating......"

Speaking of which, in the end. The more you talk, the quieter it becomes. Huai Sleeve thought silently in his heart. Let's talk about it. I'm still hungry.

Qi Buchen took a sip of milk tea. Smiled and interjected: "Niangniang was indeed a little greedy when she was young. On one occasion, Amma led his troops to patrol the sentry and went a little farther. It happened that Chaolu was also in the team that day. At noon, I caught some fresh game in the field to satisfy my mother's cravings. As a result, Amma didn't pay attention. She ate as much as she could.

In the afternoon, Amma had planned to continue his patrol. Seeing her humming. No way. In the end, the accompanying soldiers had to put down their business. Let's look for herbs to eat on the grassland. From where to go back. Amma never took her to the outpost again. ”

Qi Buchen said. Everyone laughed.

Kangxi leaned sideways and wrapped his arms around the arms of his pretty and embarrassed face. Laughing: "Look." There is evidence. You still deny it. ”

Huai sleeve raised his beautiful eyes and glanced at Qi Buchen. He said angrily: "You talk a lot." Look at me and go back and tell Eniang. Say that you expose my shortcomings in front of the Lord of Long Life. ”

The crowd laughed for a while. Kangxi and several generals and ministers continued to discuss military affairs over the bonfire in front of the sleeping tent.

It is inconvenient to keep the sleeves next to you. Besides, it's a little cold outside. Then he turned and went back to his bed.

Although with the army on the march. No more than the previous trip to live in a comfortable and refined tent. But after all, it is the dormitory of Kangxi's royal palace. Warm viscous bed and table and chairs. There are still a lot of the four treasures of the study.

Sleeves go to the tent. Nothing to do. He took a piece of Suxuan and spread it gently. Studied ink. Draw it in detail on paper.

Kangxi saw that she hadn't been out of the sleeping tent for a long time. I thought that Huai Sleeve had already slept. After discussing military affairs. Turning back to the account is. But I saw her still lying on the table. The earnestness of drawing with a pen in his hand.

"Huai'er, this is the woman who painted it. It's so handsome. ”

Kangxi walked slowly to the front. I saw that the sleeve pen was dipped in cinnabar ink. A delicate depiction of a beautiful woman dressed in a red riding costume. Stand around the campfire and dance.

He put down the pen in his hand. got up and took off Kangxi's big hat and put it on the screen. I also brought hot water from the hanging stove. Serve Kangxi to wash.

"When I was chatting. Inadvertently brings back childhood memories. I remembered that I was hunting outside Cyprus at that time. At night, when lying on the meadow and looking at the stars. I hummed softly. Ling Yue danced around the bonfire. ”

That's it. His sleeved eyes shone with a halo as bright as stars. He said softly: "I think of the time at that time." It always feels like it's long, long. It always feels like we have many days to joke around. But I don't want to. In the blink of an eye. Everybody's gone......"

When the sleeve speaks. The hand unconsciously touched the purse he was carrying at his waist.

Ling Yue is shy. The posture is as soft as a willow. Almost no one had ever seen how beautiful she was when she danced.

Only every year on the eve of the summer solstice. Brother Qi Buchen took the two of them to secretly run to the depths of the grassland to see the Cowherd and Vega. Lingyue will be under the clean starry sky. to her. To the person you like. Jumping into a beautiful posture like a spirit fox......

Kangxi once heard Huai Sleeve mention the lord of Lingyue who married in that era. At this time, listen to the mention of Huai Sleeve. Remembering the fierce battle that is about to clash in Ulan Butong. I couldn't help frowning.

"This time, I went out on the expedition. In Ulan Butong, there will inevitably be a fierce battle. When the time comes. This Lingyue County Lord. I'm afraid I'm going to be a little implicated. ”

His heart shook. Although I have long thought about the worst outcome. can listen to Kangxi say it. I still feel panicked for a while.
